IN company with Messrs Hill
and Wilson, cotton buyers, and Mr..
Jacob Geiger, this reporter visited Mr..
D. W. Hynson's place last week and
viewed for himself the true situation of
affairs. Mr.. Hynson's gin was under
way, and the Aeecy staple was coming
out in nice quantities. We saw it
brought in in baskets, put in the gin
and ginned, and lastly placed in the
press and the ties and bagging put
around. Mr.. Hynson has a nice crop
and will no doubt make a good three
quarter average. His cotton then is
clean and part of it of a better staple
than the ordinary. Where he used
paris green this season his cotton is
unhurt; where he did not there is not
a leaf on the stalk. After chat of
about an hour with the Messrs. Hyn-
son and Col. Dyer, DR.. Geiger called
out call aboard" and into our carriage
we jumped and were soon speeding
homeward, hearing in our ears from
those whom we had left to "come
again.

Two Hearts Heating as One.

We take large measure of delight in
introducing Gen. Justo A. Arcia, of Ven
zuela, to Mr.. Charles A. Dana, of the New
York Sun, wishing them both long life
and undisturbed friendship. We do this
from purely charitable desire to fill a
long felt want in Mr.. Dana's happiness
Gen. Aicia is powerfully against civil SER
vice reform on general principles, princi-
pally because he has an innate longing for
a control Of all the offices, and this is why
he will be able to apply the necessary balm
to Mr.. Dana's defective happiness. In or
der to make Arcia absolutely secure In the
favor and affections of the great man who
shines for all except the administration, we
mention his latest coup d'etat. On the 18th
Of last month he was promoted from the
collectorship of the port of Carupano to the
collectorship Of the port of Maracaibo, and
the very next day he entered the custom
house at the latter place, and with electric
swiftness discharged every person from the
scrub-woman up to the interventor, Gen.
Perez.
Having kindly brought to the knowledge
of Mr.. Dana the rapid removing ways OF
Gen, Justo A. Arcia, collector of customs
at Maracaibo, his admiration for this new
acquaintance will admit of no bounds, and
he will probably pine in thought, and In a
green and yellow melancholy sit down on
the Office cat because the illustrious Vene-
zuelian is not eligible to the presidency of
these United States. A shining example of
"Two souls with but a single thought, two
hearts that beat as one."

AssIstant Attornexs General.

We understand that the House appropri-
ations committee had under consideration
yesterday the Recommendation of Attorney
General Garland to increase the salaries OF
the six assistant attorneys to $1,000 each.
The justice and propriety of this increase
are so manifest that we urged 1t upon Con-
gress In our issue of Jan. 81.
The Attorney General recommends the in
crease for the special reasons stated by
Assistant Attorney General Howard in his
letter. which the Attorney General adopts
and to which he says! 81 add my testimony
to the facts he states" What are these
facts That these six assistant attorneys,
in connection with Gen. Howard, "are
charged with the whole responsibility of
defending the government in suits pending
In the court of claims. There are now
pending in tnat court about $500 cases, in
volviDg in the aggregate about $75, 900, 900
and also involving every conceivable legal
question:
Gen. Howard makes the further point
that these assistant attorneys are also re.
quired TO represent the government inlthe
prosecution Of cases Of special interest In
the states and territories, In the District OF
Columbia, and in the Supreme Court of the
United States. That having no client to
furnish the evidence in cases they must
themselves find and secure the evidence
and prepare the cases for trial. Their
duties, says Gen. Howard, are never done,
but from one years end to the other their
whole time is demanded for and given to
the service Of the government. He adds,
they are not to-day able to comfortably
maintain themselves and their families
with the compensation allowed, and yet
they are required to live in Washington.
For these and other reasons stated In his
letter Gen. Howard earnestly recommends
that the salaries of these assistants be
placed at least at 81, 900 each year.
Chief Justice Richardson, of the court Of
claims, in letter which accompanies Gen.
Howard's, says that all these assistants
perform their duties with signal ability,
earnestuess, and fidelity, and, in my opin.
ion, merit liberal salaries. Immense inter-
ests are entrusted to their hands, not only
in the ordinary duties Of trying cases of
great magnitude in the court, but In hunt
ing up evidence all over the country" The
chief justice makes the following forcible
point: each of several cases has been of
such magnitude that, had they been be-
tween private parties, the counsel em-
ployed would no doubt have commanded
more than the combined salaries OF all the
assistants" Gen. Garland Justly adds: "I
feel sure 1t would in the end prove to be a
saving to the government to increase these
salaries"
In the face of these urgent trecommenda-
tions 1t is not to be supposed that Congress
will fail to do justice to class OF meritori-
Gus, hard-worked gentlemen.

Engineer devotes much of It's space to the
subject OF heating railroad cars by steam,
giving, among other things, summary of
the views expressed by members OF the
New England Railroad Club at It's last
meeting, There was some difference OF
opinion as to the feasibility of taking steam
from the engine for this purpose, although
Mr.. Martin said that he had the testimony
of several engineers, where the experiment
had been tried, that they could not per
ceive any difference in the quantity OF
steam used. lie said five pounds OF high
pressure steam was sufficient to heat cars
in the coolest weather. Mr.. Adams

thought steam was the coming agent for
heating cars, and Mr.. Emerson told how
the Connecticut river trains are heated by
this method. Edltorially the Engineer says /;
"While the flnancers Of the railroads are
proving, for their own purposes, that the
thing cannot be done, the practical men
have been quietly doing It," We have no
doubt that the car stove will soon be super
